<p><strong>The Kardashian-ification of Travel Ball</strong></p><p><br></p><p>A reality show about travel ball is coming, and the kids on it are about to become characters. Deven makes the case for why that is worse than it sounds, then pulls the game logs from his son&#39;s junior year to show what we are already asking of these players without cameras: 1,001 pitches, 223 innings caught, roughly 4,500 total throws, and a game frequency that beats an average D1 schedule. Plus the showcase invite they turned down in July, and why a senior-year football season is the right call.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Intro and rundown</p><p>01:20 Roadmap assessments and membership</p><p>07:23 Team Moms: Baseball</p><p>13:46 What travel ball became</p><p>18:48 No producer wants a .500 team</p><p>22:13 My son&#39;s game log</p><p>28:24 Games per 100 days</p><p>33:34 Using the word no</p><p>40:04 Football as a senior</p><p>44:50 Wrap</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p>New Driveline youth memberships (for players 9–14) are live in Washington NOW, with Arizona and Florida coming soon!</p><p><em>- Assessments</em></p><p><em>- Group training</em></p><p><em>- 1-on-1 hitter and pitcher development sessions</em></p><p>Get started now: <a href="mailto:support@drivelinebaseball.com">⁠⁠support@drivelinebaseball.com⁠⁠</a> or (425) 523-4030.
